5. A building needs 30 [MWh] electricity annually for appliances, and its annual heating demand is 40 [MWh]. The building is connected to a heating grid (neglect the losses in the grid), where the heat comes from the waste heat from the power plant delivering the electricity to the building. What is the amount of primary energy used annually by the building? The power plant is combustion engine based, and has an electrical efficiency of 0.35 and a thermal efficiency of 0.55. (multiple choice, one answer)

A gas power cycle uses air as the working fluid and has two turbine sections as shown in the figure below. The power produced by Turbine 1 is used to drive the compressor, and Turbine 2 produces output power W. Air enters the compressor with a temperature of 290 K and a mass flow rate of m = 2 [kg/s] (State 1); the air exits the compressor at 445K (State 2). Heat is transferred from a high- temperature thermal reservoir, T = 1400 [K], to Heat Exchanger 1 at a rate Q,. The temperature of the air is raised to 1100 [K] (State 3) as it flows through Heat Exchanger 1. The air enters Turbine 1 where it is expanded to State 4. The flow then proceeds to Turbine 2 and exits with a temperature of 500 [K] (State 5). Heat is then removed from the air through Heat Exchanger 2 at a rate Q, which is rejected to the low-temperature thermal reservoir, Ti = 200 [K]. (a) Determine the temperature at the inlet to Turbine 2, T4. (b) Calculate the power output from Turbine 2, W. (c) Calculate the rate of…
A heat pump is an electrical device that heats a building by pumping heat in from the cold outside. In other words, it's the same as a refrigerator, but its purpose is to warm the hot reservoir rather than to cool the cold reservoir (even though it does both). Let us define the following standard symbols, all taken to be positive by convention:Th = temperature inside buildingTe = temperature outsideQh heat pumped into building in 1 day Qe = heat taken from outdoors in 1 dayW = electrical energy used by heat pump in 1 day Explain why a heat pump is better than an electric furnace, which simply converts electrical work directly into heat. (Include some numerical estimates. )
25. A wind turbine having an efficiency of 35% and rotor diameter of 33 m is exposed to air flowing at a speed of 6 m/s. Find the power developed by the turbine. Assume ρ = 1.2 kg/m3. [Ans.: 38.8 kW].
Wind power is defined as the use of air flow through wind turbines to provide the mechanical force to generate electricity. Wind power is an alternative to burning fossil fuels, and is renewable and produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation. Modern horizontal-axis wind turbines often use three blades. Theoretically, the maximum power P (unit: watts) that a three-blade wind turbine can extract from the wind power can be calculated as: P = pAv³C₁. . (Equation 1) where p is the air density (kg/m³), A is the sweep area of the turbine (m²) and can be calculated from the length of the turbine blades, and v is the wind speed (m/s). Cp is the power coefficient that is unique to each turbine type. This coefficient represents the amount of kinetic energy from the wind that is captured by the turbine. From the Betz's limit law we know that the best power conversion possible is Cp,max = 0.59. Part 1 Given the following data: Blade length /= 50 m Air density p= 1.5 kg/m³ Power…
